Israel has offered to meet them more than half way many, many, many times.

Then why not do so now?

You act as their surrogate, right now: let's do the '67 borders with land swaps.

Deal?

Things are soooo simple in your world.

Israel knows that they kill more Palestinian women and children every time they launch one of these ill-fated ground invasions then they will ever have to suffer themselves. They know this. How could they not.

They know that if they lob a missile into Palestine, women and children will die.

So when Hamas sends a rocket that doesn't even have a warhead, gets intercepted by Israel's defense shield or just piffles out in the sky without causing any damage, lobbing a missile in retaliation for basically nothing with something that is sure to kill civilians is disproportionate, brutal violence.

The halo you put around Israel's head is amusing, I'll admit.

They're not innocent in this. Netanyahu wants all of Israel, and he does not want to share it.
